Hey all,

I'm going to be purchsasing an aluminum flywheel and new cluch. Recomendations please ...

I'm looking at the combos on RX7store.net and .com. The ACT cluch has 40% more clamping load. I'm thinking of paying the extra $$$ to seperate the combo and go with the M2 at 15% extra. I don't plan on pushing this car past 325RWHP ... ever. Thoughts?

Should I just go with the ACT cluch or will I regret the extra pedal effort over the M2?

Thanks all!

PS ... feel free to tell me where the best deals are!

I got a 6-puck sprung hub clutch from Mazdatrix with a +28% pressure plate and an 11lb aluminum flywheel.

I really, really like the 6-puck sprung hub. Very solid engagement. It's pretty much a button (on/off) clutch, but the sprung hub gives it a wee bit more play.

I had an ACT S/S before...it was okay. Just felt like the stock clutch with a little more pedal effort.

You won't regret it, after my clutch lit up I decided to go with the RB lightened steel flywheel and the ACT s/s clutch. I'm very happy with this set up and have been for about 4 months now. Like GotBoosted7 said however, it's not dramatically different from the stock clutch, just a quicker engagement and faster acceleration. If you want more of an extreme feel, you may want to go with a set up more similar to his.

Actually, it sounds like the Act clutch is just what I want. I've been driving a manual trans since I learned how to drive some 16 years ago ... I'm sure that I could adjust to the black and white / on and off feel of the 6 puck clutch that GotBoosted7 has ... I really want a more casual feel however.
